Hmm. What do those systems do for cryptography? Just assume it won't work and not rely on it at all?
- jandrewrogers 5mo agoIn these kinds of systems the cryptographic components often aren't even accessible from the software. It isn't a thing you need to worry about. This makes it easier to audit for use of entropy sources in the software since there really isn't a valid use case for it.
